Problems solved by technology

The neutralization process is highly effective in removing free fatty acids and phospholipids but this process also results in significant yield losses and sacrifices in quality.

example 1

Blast Program Used for Sequence Identify Profiling

[0502] This example describes an exemplary sequence identity program to determine if a nucleic acid is within the scope of the invention. An NCBI BLAST 2.2.2 program is used, default options to blastp. All default values were used except for the default filtering setting (i.e., all parameters set to default except filtering which is set to OFF); in its place a “−F F” setting is used, which disables filtering. Use of default filtering often results in Karlin-Altschul violations due to short length of sequence. The default values used in this example:

 “Filter for low complexity: ON> Word Size: 3> Matrix: Blosum62> Gap Costs: Existence:11> Extension:1”

[0503] Other default settings were: filter for low complexity OFF, word size of 3 for protein, BLOSUM62 matrix, gap existence penalty of −11 and a gap extension penalty of −1. The “−W” option was set to default to 0. This means that, if not set, the word size defaults to 3 for proteins ...

Simulation of PLC Mediated Degumming

[0504] This example describes the simulation of phospholipase C (PLC)-mediated degumming.

[0505] Due to its poor solubility in water phosphatidylcholine (PC) was originally dissolved in ethanol (100 mg / ml). For initial testing, a stock solution of PC in 50 mM 3-morpholinopropanesulpholic acid or 60 mM citric acid / NaOH at pH 6 was prepared. The PC stock solution (10 μl, 1 μg / μl) was added to 500 μl of refined soybean oil (2% water) in an Eppendorf tube. To generate an emulsion the content of the tube was mixed for 3 min by vortexing (see FIG. 5A). The oil and the water phase were separated by centrifugation for 1 min at 13,000 rpm (FIG. 5B). The reaction tubes were pre-incubated at the desired temperature (37° C., 50° C., or 60° C.) and 3 μl of PLC from Bacillus cereus (0.9 U / μl) were added to the water phase (FIG. 5C). The disappearance of PC was analyzed by TLC using chloroform / methanol / water (65:25:4) as a solvent system (see, e.g., Taguchi (1...

Expression of Phospholipases

[0507] This example describes the construction of a commercial production strain of the invention that can express multiple phospholipases (including enzymes of the invention). In order to produce a multi-enzyme formulation suitable for use in the degumming of food-grade vegetable oils (including soybean, canola, and sunflower), a recombinant expression strain can be generated that expresses two different phospholipase sequences in the same expression host. For example, this strain may be constructed to contain one or more copies of a PLC gene and one or more copies of a phosphatidylinositol-PLC gene. These genes may exist on one plasmid, multiple plasmids, or the genes may be inserted into the genome of the expression host by homologous recombination. When the genes are introduced by homologous recombination, the genes may be introduced into a single site in the host genome as a DNA expression cassette that contains one or more copies of both genes. Alt...

Abstract

The invention provides novel polypeptides having phospholipase activity, including, e.g., phospholipase A, B, C and D activity, patatin activity, lipid acyl hydrolase (LAH) activity, nucleic acids encoding them and antibodies that bind to them. Industrial methods, e.g., oil degumming, and products comprising use of these phospholipases are also provided.
